             Bug #: 29861
           Summary: Installer should be adding another administrator
                    accound if instructed to do so.
           Product: MediaWiki
           Version: 1.19-svn
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: Installation
        AssignedTo: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org
        ReportedBy: bugzilla.wikime...@publi.purodha.net
                CC: bugzilla.wikime...@publi.purodha.net,
                    innocentkil...@gmail.com
    Classification: Unclassified


Using the installer a second time on an existing wiki data base
(with localsettings.php removed or lost)
will be able to restore localsettings.php and asks to create
an administator account for the wiki but does not create it.

The installer should either not ask for administrator data,
or warn that this account already exists / does not exist,
and create or update it if asked to. Creating a new or additinal
admin account would be useful if the original accounts password
was lost and no e-mail address exists for it, or there was a
typo in the name initially, etc.
